Favorite Children's book:  Pete the Cat:  I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin and James Dean

Bielka is so happy to be part of the Comal family! She is originally from Nicaragua. She has had the pleasure to working in the early childhood field for the past 7 year.  She discovered her passion for working with children when she volunteered in her son's Pre-K classroom.  She loves having a direct impact on a child's development.  She loves to engage with the children in her care and build healthy relationships.  She strongly believes in the value of high-quality early childhood education-which starts with teacher/child interactions.

Apart from the UTCDC, she enjoys quality time with her children.  In her free time she enjoys painting and hiking.  She also loves to travel!  Fun fact: she has visited 40 out of the 50 states!  She's also been to Costa Rica and San Salvador.
